‘Oh man, my weekend was so busy. Just ran a ton of errands and caught up on chores around the house.

‘When the JWs or Mormons or local evangelicals come knocking, I simply say, “Sorry, back in 1997 I pledged my soul to Satan, in exchange for guitar lessons. Would you like to come in and hear me play? I’m really good!”’
